Safe & Sound

When Amy Millhouse and her sorority sisters travelled to Mexico for vacation, they never expected what would be waiting for them: sun, sand, and a drug cartel holding the girls ransom for everything they were worth – and more. More

Set against the backdrop of the ongoing drug wars in Mexico, Safe and Sound centers on the story of Amy Millhouse, a twenty-two year old recent college graduate who is struggling to adjust to normalcy after being kidnapped and held for ransom by a violent drug gang. Through conversations and vivid flashbacks, Amy walks her therapist, Dr. Vilsek, through the harrowing two weeks that she and sixteen of her sorority sisters spent held hostage in a basement before their ransom was paid. But when the rest of the girls got to go home, Amy’s time in Mexico was just beginning. Safe and Sound is ultimately the story of one woman’s journey to Hell and back, and what she learns about herself and the rest of the world along the way.

After many years of writing poetry and short stories, while she was in law school Danielle finally decided to try writing novels. She wrote her first book, Safe & Sound, while in law school and published it in December 2012. Since then, Danielle has published 4 more novels and is working on a sixth.

Outside of writing, Danielle is also a lawyer.

One quirky thing to note: Danielle generally doesn't read the same kinds of books as she writes. Thrillers give her nightmares...unless she's the one who wrote it. Probably because she already knows all of the scary parts!
